@MichaelTBacon @jonny 😊 can't say I've read a lot of Adorno, but I found his The Stars Down To Earth (1957) pretty amazing as an early example of critical analysis of horoscope columns and their attractions, with wide-ranging implications also for today

@dingemansemark @jonny It’s his writing on jazz that makes me dislike him so much. It’s the epitome of a European leftist essentializing nonwhite phenomena as fundamentally derivative of and only relevant to prior European standards and having no relevance or existence beyond that. It’s so, so bad and colonialist.
